Hi Joel,
The patches do two things to improve the simulation speed. First, they
calculate what loopsperjiffy would be given the processor frequency and write
that value into the global variable. You can get around this by just passing
the lpj=XX boot argument to the kernel, so this change i
Hi Joel. I'm happy to hear it's booting for you! I've already translated
the patches over to x86 and they do help boot time, but I couldn't tell
you off hand where they went. I think we have a mercurial repository
with those in it someplace. When you say "bring up", does that include
init scripts?

Linux kernel (v2.6.22.9 and v2.6.28.4), but the bring up requires more than
12 hours of simulation time. I am hoping to reduce the boot time to
